Cloning of genes from mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa which control spontaneous conversion to the alginate production phenotype.

Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa causing chronic pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis are known to convert to a mucoid form in vivo characterized by the production of the exopolysaccharide alginate. The alginate production trait is not stable, and mucoid strains frequently convert...
